Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to station affairs systems and programs.

Many of the various station affairs equipment installed at railway stations are equipped with storage devices such as SSDs (Solid State Drives) and HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). If the storage device of these station affairs equipment suddenly breaks down, the user may not be able to pass through the ticket gate, which may hinder the operation.

For example, in a state management system in which the master station manages the HDD of the slave station installed in a remote location, the corresponding analysis program is read based on the model of the slave station, and the SMART information acquired from the slave station is analyzed. It is known that the detailed operating state of the HDD of the slave station is monitored, an abnormality in the magnetic storage device is detected at an early stage, and avoidance measures are taken before the operation of the slave station is stopped. However, there are cases where the conventional technology cannot appropriately support the replacement of the storage device of the station affairs equipment.

When it is predicted that the storage device will be, the storage device is provided with a notification unit 533 that outputs exchange information indicating that fact to the output unit 52 or the like, thereby detecting deterioration or abnormality of the storage devices 12, 44, 54 in advance and storing the storage device. The exchange of 12, 44, 54 can be appropriately supported.

Further, when the second threshold value th2 on the sound side of the first threshold value th1 determined to be replaced is violated, it is predicted that the replacement is necessary, so that the replacement may take time. However, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the storage device suddenly breaks down and the user cannot pass through the ticket gate.

Further, according to the embodiment, the storage device predicts whether or not replacement is necessary based on the second threshold value th2 determined in advance according to the number of passengers passing by the station and the diagnosis result. It is possible to make an appropriate prediction according to the frequency of use.

Further, according to the embodiment, it is possible to set a second threshold value according to the number of passing passengers at the automatic ticket gate 10, the ticket gate, and the station. As a result, it is possible to make an appropriate prediction according to the frequency of use of the storage device.

Further, according to the embodiment, it is possible to notify a pre-registered user of the entry / exit of the ticket gate by the notification target person. As a result, the user can grasp the movement status of the notification target person in a remote place.

Further, the station affairs system 1 according to the embodiment is not limited to the above. For example, the station affairs system 1 further includes a center server that manages entry / exit based on identification information, and when predetermined identification information is acquired by the automatic ticket gate 10, the acquired identification information is sent to the center server. You may send it. The center server determines entry / exit based on the received identification information, and transmits the determination result to the automatic ticket gate 10. The automatic ticket gate 10 operates based on the determination result received from the center server.

Further, the storage devices 12, 44, 54 may be either an HDD or an SSD, or may be other storage devices.

Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, as well as in the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.
